Greetings.

Controller:

    Model: OC200 v1
    Firmware: 1.18.3 Build 20220715 Rel.56221
    Software: 5.4.7

EAP:

    Model: EAP245 v3
    Firmware: 5.0.6 Build 20220429 Rel.44315

I noticed the following in the 5.4.7 release notes:

https://static.tp-link.com/upload/firmware/2022/202208/20220803/OC200_Release_Note.pdf

"6. Added MAC-Based Authentication for wireless networks that use WPA Personal encryption.
Note that this requires EAPs to be upgraded to subsequent releases of adapted firmware.
With the current firmware, clients will be able to connect to the wireless network if the
RADIUS server is offline."

*Note - "...this requires EAPs to be upgraded to subsequent releases of adapted firmware."

I tried to set this up on a test SSID:

*Note - "It will not be applied to SSIDs ... with older firmware version"

However, the RADIUS server is never contacted and the device always gets the untagged (default) VLAN.

I know the RADIUS configuration is correct because I successfully use it on the switch ports, I can see in its logs where it is contacted for auth when I plug a device in, etc. but not with this configuration for a SSID.

Questions

    - can it be confirmed that the current EAP245 v3 firmware (5.0.6 Build 20220429 Rel.44315) does not support this?

    - can it be confirmed that a new firmware update is coming to EAP245 v3 (hopefully soon) that DOES support this?

Thanks!
